"Hey!" Keiko whined at her mother as she picked her up. Tsunade smiled and kissed Keiko. Keiko knew what her mother and father were doing and she didn't like it. Tsunade and Jiraiya were going to go away for a few days. Shizune was there to watch Keiko while Tsunade and Jiraiya were gone.

"Okay Keiko, Mommy and Daddy have to leave," Tsunade told Keiko as Jiraiya entered the room with a suitcase. Keiko started to cry. She didn't want her parents to leave. Jiraiya took Keiko from Tsunade and hugged her.

"Daddy, no!" Keiko grabbed onto her father. Tsunade went over to her husband and her daughter and tried to calm her daughter down. As soon as Keiko started to calm down, Jiraiya and Tsunade gave Keiko one last kiss and gave her over to Shizune.

"Alright you two! Have fun!" Shizune told Jiraiya and Tsunade as they left. As soon as they left, Shizune sighed. "So, Keiko, you want a bottle?" Keiko nodded and grabbed onto Shizune. Shizune smiled and took Keiko into the kitchen.

As Shizune made Keiko the bottle, Keiko was on the floor trying to play. When the bottle was done warming up, Shizune crouched down and picked Keiko up. Then Shizune handed Keiko her bottle. Keiko happily grabbed it from Shizune and started drinking it.

"There, do you like that?" Shizune asked Keiko. Keiko nodded and Shizune took her out into the living room. Shizune set Keiko down on the couch and went to grab a couple of Keiko's stuffed toys for her to play with when she was done with her bottle.

When Shizune returned to the living room, Keiko abandoned her bottle and was getting into Shizune's overnight bags. Shizune put Keiko's toys down and snuck up behind her. Keiko turned around and jumped a little bit. She wasn't expecting Shizune to be standing right behind her.

"Mommy, scary," Keiko told Shizune. Shizune smiled and picked Keiko up. Keiko called Shizune Mommy. Tsunade and Jiraiya left Keiko with Shizune so much; Keiko was starting to believe Shizune was her mother instead of Tsunade. Shizune didn't mind. She thought of Keiko as a daughter.

"Don't get into my stuff without asking me. Do you understand?" Shizune softly scolded Keiko. Keiko understood. Shizune set Keiko on the ground and sat down next to her. Keiko looked at Shizune and playfully pushed her over.

"Mommy play?" Keiko asked Shizune. Shizune smiled and pushed Keiko. Keiko giggled and ran away from Shizune. Keiko stopped about twenty feet away from Shizune and looked at her. Shizune got up and went after Keiko. Keiko squealed happily and ran away from Shizune.

"I'll get you," Shizune jokingly told Keiko as she chased after her. Keiko smiled and stuck out her tongue at Shizune. Then she took off and hid from Shizune. Shizune laughed and went off to find Keiko. After about ten minutes of "searching" for Keiko, Shizune grabbed Keiko out from behind the couch. As soon as Shizune got Keiko close to her, she snuggled with Keiko. Keiko laughed and clapped her hands together.

"I love you," Keiko told Shizune. Shizune got a big smile on her face and hugged Keiko. She told Keiko she loved her back. Keiko smiled and hugged Shizune really tightly. Shizune gave Keiko a kiss and picked up her bags, and took them into a spare bedroom.

"Hey, do you want to help me put my stuff away?" Shizune asked Keiko as she set her down. Keiko nodded. Shizune opened her bag and handed Keiko a couple of shirts. "Okay Keiko, can you go put those in the dresser?"

Keiko nodded, took the shirts from Shizune and tried to go over to the dresser. On the way over to the dresser, Keiko tripped over her own feet and fell. As soon as Keiko started crying, Shizune ran over to her and picked her up.

"Sorry," Keiko told Shizune. Shizune smiled, picked up her shirts and went over to the dresser. Then she set Keiko down on the ground and asked Keiko to put her shirts away again. Keiko was reluctant at first, but then she went and put the shirts away.

"Good job," Shizune encouraged Keiko. Keiko gave Shizune a shy smile as she went over to her. Shizune gave Keiko a small hug and handed her more clothes, and asked her to put those away as well. Soon Keiko willingly put the clothes away.

"Done!" Keiko told Shizune. Shizune gave Keiko a hug and picked her up.

"Mommy!" Keiko laughed. Shizune was tickling her. Keiko tried to push Shizune way, but Shizune kept tickling her. Soon, Shizune stopped tickling Keiko and took her into the kitchen to get a snack.

"So you want some crackers?" Shizune asked Keiko. Keiko nodded and laid against Shizune. Shizune kissed Keiko and set her down in her highchair. Shizune sat down next to Keiko and set some crackers down on her tray. Keiko ate a couple of the crackers and lost interest in the other ones.

"Mommy, tired," Keiko told Shizune with a yawn. Shizune picked Keiko up and put the crackers away. Shizune took Keiko into her bedroom, changed her, and put her in some pajamas. Then Shizune picked Keiko back up and took her into the spare bedroom.

"Bed?" "Keiko asked while rubbing her eyes. Keiko didn't understand why she was in Shizune's room. Shizune smiled and put her to bed in the bed she was going to be sleeping in. Keiko tried to fight with Shizune, but she was too tired.

"Keiko, it's bed time," Shizune softly told Keiko. Keiko started crying. She wanted to know why she wasn't in her own bed. Shizune left the room for a second, and when she came back, she was wearing pajamas. Keiko tried to get up, but Shizune climbed into bed before she could.

"You get to sleep with me tonight," Shizune explained. Keiko was still confused. Soon, Keiko started to cry again. She wanted Tsunade. Shizune cuddled Keiko and asked her what was wrong.

'Nothing," Keiko mumbled. Shizune looked at Keiko and started to worry. Shizune cuddled Keiko, and Keiko soon fell asleep.
